Few shots again from Yesterday.

bit worried about the sexes in this shot- they look the same. Slight camera shake- I was standing on a stool using the 200mm in natural light

The third one is my favorite, you have that focus stacking down to a fine art.

Thanks BE
The focus stack in #3 does have a large error- the blue one at the top has 4 wings on the LHS

Are you sure its an error on stacking and not a Damsel over-compensating?

Thanks Melvyn and BE
I was pretty lucky with the stacked shot as the damsels were rythmically moving most of the time- I tried to hit the same "cycle time" for each shot.

Permanent ban

Nice shots, especially the 3rd one with focus stacking. Definitely looks a cool thing. One day down the track I'll try it, but not now.
